bulls and necessarily buyers. Around

large. Irwin.Green bought 100000
bushels Of June OF George O. Walker

tfrst lot Of 100000 bushels, which
was taken by Ware, Of Ilwin-Gr
Walker then began running up the
offer 100000 bushels at Jump until
1t aggregated 100000 bushels, which
went in one lump at 85I@86c. After
that the market dragged little, under
pounding started by few big bears,
With the aid ofsome bulls who wanted
IN opportunity to fill up at a cheap
price, and they succeeded in putting
The price back to 851C, where 1t stood
lalf an hour before the close
II the mornings session. The
market then fell off to 85ic.
